Mel Torm — Send in the Clowns

[Verse 1] Isn't it rich? Are we a pair? Me here at last on the ground You in mid air Send in the clowns Send in the clowns [Verse 2] Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve? One who keeps tearing around One who can't move Where are the clowns? Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns [Bridge] Just when I'd stopped opening doors Finally knowing the one that I really wanted was yours Making my entrance again with my usual flair Sure of my lines, no one is there [Verse 3] Don't you love farce? My fault, I fear I thought that you'd want what I want Sorry, my dear Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns Don't bother, they're here [Instrumental break] [Bridge] Just when I'd stopped opening doors Finally knowing the one that I really wanted was yours Making my entrance again with my usual flair Sure of my lines, no one is there [Verse 4] Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer? Losing my timing this late in my career? Where are the clowns? Where are the clowns? [Outro] It's plain to see, the laugh's on me So, get the gooniest goons Find the looniest loons Call the silly buffoons Send in the clowns Send those clowns
